Hi, @lessy-Reeds!

Can you please also describe the problem in more detail?

Hi,
the problem you encounter is:
If you want to have these standard directories (Music, Videos, Pictures, …) point to some other location - like on a second disk - you can edit this file:
~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
which contains the paths in question. As a reference, per default the file looks like:
# This file is written by xdg-user-dirs-update
# If you want to change or add directories, just edit the line you're
# interested in. All local changes will be retained on the next run.
# Format for general directories is XDG_xxx_DIR="$HOME/yyy", where yyy is a shell-escaped
# homedir-relative path, or XDG_xxx_DIR="/yyy", where /yyy is an
# absolute path.
# Format for desktop-file speficic directories is
# xxx.desktop="yyy" where xxx.desktop is a valid directory"
# keyfile in $XDG_DATA_DIRS/xdg-user-dirs.
# No other format is supported.
#
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/."
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos"
It’s not possible to sort the upper part of the sidebar. Only your favorites, which are beneath the default locations can be sorted to your like.
